SYNOPSIS
Alex Orr’s hilarious debut updates the Roger Corman cult classic LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS. But this time our lead dweeb’s horrific creation isn’t a carnivorous plant, but rather a car that runs on human blood!
In the near future, gas prices have risen so high, that no one can afford to drive anymore. So mild-mannered school teacher Archie Andrews (Mike Brune) takes it upon himself to spend his spare hours creating an alternative fuel powered automobile. Nothing seems to work until one day, he accidentally cuts himself and adds his own blood to the mix. The car engine springs to life, and with it, so too does our unlikely hero’s love life. A trail of darkly comic mayhem ensues, reminiscent of the Coens’ BLOOD SIMPLE, as vegan Archie, in order to hold on to his new sex-kitten girlfriend, must secretly supply his ravenous vehicle with an endless supply of human flesh!
Funny, bloody, and refreshingly original, BLOOD CAR is a crowd-pleasing trip for thrill-seeking cineastes looking for something they’ve never seen before.
